Notes on driving

& WARNING Risk of accident due to
objects in the driver's footwell
Objects in the driver's footwell may impede
pedal travel or block a depressed pedal.
This jeopardizes the operating and road
safety of the vehicle.
Stow all objects in the vehicle securely
#
so that they cannot get into the driver's
footwell.
Always install the floor mats securely
#
and as prescribed in order to ensure
that there is always sufficient room for
the pedals.
Do not use loose floor mats and do not
#
place floor mats on top of one another.
& WARNING Risk of accident due to
unsuitable footwear
Operation of the pedals may be restricted
due to unsuitable footwear such as:
Shoes with platform soles

Slippers
R
When driving always wear suitable
#
shoes in order to be able to operate the
pedals safely.
& WARNING Risk of accident when switch‐
ing off the ignition when driving

safety functions are restricted or no longer
available. This may affect the power steering
system and the brake force boosting, for
